“There can be no conversation about feeding the planet that does not involve those who grow the food. Sustainable agriculture is critical to addressing climate change and global food security. More help is needed to leverage and accelerate progress.”

Klaus Ackerstaff, Chairman, Datamars Sustainability Foundation

The Datamars Sustainability Foundation (DMSF) is a not-for-profit, global organisation established by Datamars in 2023 to help solve the world’s need for sustainable food production.

With a clear focus on agriculture, DMSF aims to accelerate sustainable food production and regenerative farming systems by bridging the gap between science, technology and current agricultural practices to empower farmers and producers and deliver genuine impact and prosperity.

The establishment of DMSF embodies Datamars’ dedication to enabling sustainable agriculture on a global scale and stems from the company’s deep understanding of certain agricultural sectors and their respect for all those who live and work on the land.

The Datamars Sustainability Foundation was established by Swiss based global company, Datamars, which specialises in technology solutions for sustainable livestock production.

The drive to establish an independent Foundation embodies Datamars’ dedication to enabling sustainable agriculture on a global scale and stems from the company’s deep understanding of certain agricultural sectors and their respect for all those who live and work on the land.

The world needs farmers more than it ever has. Datamars sees that sustainable agriculture is a critical means to help address major global challenges including hunger and poverty, health and wellbeing and climate change and requires a fully-dedicated, long term perspective independent from a commercial lens.

The Foundation will leverage the company’s rich 35-year history of innovation and its expertise, while also working with other stakeholders in broader fields in agriculture to advance the sustainability of food production and regenerative farming systems as a whole globally.

“Our goal at Datamars is to make decisions and deliver solutions today that leave the world in a better place for the future. I am passionate about the positive impact we can have as a company, but the challenges facing our communities and our planet are significant. By establishing the Datamars Sustainability Foundation we are providing a platform for others with the same goal to come together and expand our impact.”

Datamars CEO, Daniele Della Libera
